Have just been speaking to my mum-in-law who knows Beatie and her family.
She grew up around the corner in Surrey Street and used to go in the house on a Sunday afternoon.
I was just giving her a lift to her bowls match so it was a short conversation.
I have told her to brace herself for interrogation!!!

Hi all, Granny calling.
Guess what I have come up with?
Henry Bird's son William Bird of Poulton married to Ellen (not sure when)He was buried 17th July 1704. Daughter baptised 15th Oct 1704 mother Ellen. Baby's name as written 'William-Mina Bird'(I assume it to be Wilhelmina) Maybe that's how they spelt it then.So the barn date stone could well have been 1704? W.M.B.
I have to admit info was found on Family Search.Org which I often have issues with due to input of wrong information.Strangely I am not going to challenge this time!!!
Do you think I done well?

There is (or certainly used to be) a full transcript of the Wallasey Parish Church Registers available upstairs at Earlston Library in Wallasey. You should be able to confirm those dates just by looking in there.

Hi,
Thank you for your help. I have scoured those records numerous times, resulting in reams of fullscap sheets of info.So many listings for this family of Birds.
I do have other children listed for William and Ellen,christenings at St. Hilary's and could have missed the baby, but no marriage record.Of course Ellen may have come from another Parish altogether which means it would be virtually impossible to trace.

Sorry I didn't put any info up last night,I was sort of cross eyed after three hours of reading!
So here goes....

Granny quotes,
Henry Bird's William married Ellen
Parish Register says,
Hennery Berd(?)and Ellin Robison 1 of Feb 1662.

Granny quotes,
He was buried 17th July 1704
Parish Reg' says,
Wm son of henry Bird July 17th(P) 1704.

Granny quotes,
Daughhter baptised 15th Oct 1704 Mother Ellen.Baby's name was William-mina Bird.
Parish Reg' says,
William-mina d of Ellen Bird 9ber 21 PomS 1708.


I didn't come across a marriage of William to Ellen!



Don't know if this is of any help?

Well done.
I see you have William-Mina Bird daughter to Ellen born 1708. That's why I don't trust Familysearch.org. They have it as 1704.
William and Ellen had 2 more children that I know of.Info taken from Parish registers, so they must have been a couple:

William christened 14/07/1700
Mary christened 14/05/1702

Obviously William-Mina Bird can't be from the parentage of William and Ellen.

This is such a puzzle but all your help is much appreciated. Thanks so much.

Sorry for the long silence everyone - it's been a very busy summer (and still is). Also I've only just come across this thread - didn't know this was where all the discussion about the house was happening! Lots of interesting stuff..... How does Saturday 3rd September sound for another work party? It would be good to see you all again, but if you want to just drop by in the meantime please just send me a PM and we can fix a time.
